60 Round, 5.45x39mm, AK Magazine.

Does anyone have any information about this magazine, I remember reading about it somewhere, but I cant find any specs on it, or pictures. It was made from black polymer, and was a quad-stack magazine from what I can remember.

It is a quad stack magazine.. Meaning, rather then 2 rounds across, its 4. It was for the AN94 as someone mentioned..

When I played with one in Russia (I took the bottom pic), I was told only a handful were made.. That doesnt make any sense, as they are made from plastic.. Once the mold is cut, they can pump out millions..

If none of you guys spent the time to read the previous thread on this same topic, this is a post from Igor01 dated 03-28-2006:

A guy who does a lot of testing of various hardware for the Russian military says:

"While they were new they worked great. Now there are problems one after another - when the round is moved forward into the chamber - it turns sideways bullet up or down, skewing all the following rounds. The cause has not yet been determined. From the innovations used in the mag I can note the pretty complex feeder which consists of 3 parts. Because of its effective construction it was possible to make a mag with just one spring of a fairly simple shape and moderate strength."

He also is of the opinion that drilling mag changing routine is much more effective and useful than 60-round mags that are not as reliable as regular 30-round ones.
